- Previously
on "School Spirits"...

They found Maddie's backpack?

- Where?
- D--deserted house.

- Wait, you died
at the homecoming game?

- Yeah, and my family still
shows up for me every year.

- Did you say anything
about me?

I don't remember.

Is it hard seeing him?

- It's getting easier,
especially now that

I'm 95% sure he didn't kill me.

- Win back Claire's confidence,
and then you crack her.

How am I gonna do that?

- Tell him to ask her
to the homecoming dance.

- Ask her
to the homecoming dance.

You're shitting me.

- Do you wanna go
to the dance with me?

Sure, Wally.

I'm guessing this is how

Claire dragged your body
out of here.

You what?

I just can't--

a football player?

Shh! Keep your voice down.

You waited to be dead

to go to a school dance

with a jock?

Who are you now?

I'm changing the subject.

I would rather talk
about my murder

and my maybe murderer,
Claire, please.

Simon.

That's so gross.

Is it, Chloe?

I mean, I just think it's gross

that you're being
so judgmental.

Isn't your boyfriend
the guy who's been wearing

the same boat shoes
without socks

since the seventh grade?

And yet, I've never
brought that up.

Xavier is hot and original.

And he's been through a lot.

Expand your horizons, ladies.

- And we're sure he didn't
murder his girlfriend?

Yes, we're sure.

Wait, I heard she ran away.

- Then why would her blood
be on the wall, dumbass?

[cell phone buzzes]

[intriguing music]

He has other shoes.

* *

Claire said yes.

- Told you it would work.
- That's good.

Shit. What now?

- Operation Claire--
we crack her at the dance.

- Operation Claire--we crack
her at the dance.

- Crack her?
What does that even mean?

- Get her to admit
what she did.

The blackmail, for starters.

- We know she's
blackmailing Anderson

for grades, right?

When they got that video,
they freaked.

And if Anderson didn't do it--

Then Claire definitely did.

- We need to confirm
she took Maddie's phone

and smashed it--

and what else
she may have smashed,

like Maddie's head.

- Simon.
- Jesus. Come on.

- Nice.
- What? We need the truth.

- Does the truth have to be
so graphic while we're eating?

- You need to charm Claire
into a confession

and record it on your phone.

Get her to admit
she dragged Maddie's body

- out the fallout shelter.
- Charm her?

Last week she was pretending
I didn't even exist.

How did that feel?

- I don't even know
why she said yes.

- Maybe she still
thinks you're hot.

He's gotta look hotter.

But you need to look hotter.

She did ask if I had a suit.

- Do you?
- No.

- Well, Nicole can help.
- Nicole,

take him to the mall,
find him a suit.

Why, 'cause I'm a girl?

[chuckles]

- This needs something.
- Fine.

Yeah.
both: Ketchup.

- Are you sure
you're okay with this?

- You mean setting up
my cheating ex-boyfriend

and my traitor ex-friend?

It's a great plan.

Stop looking at me like that
or I'm gonna change my mind.

[dramatic music]

* *

- * Don't forget me
when I'm gone *

* *

* Don't forget me
when I'm gone, gone *

* *

* Don't you forget me *

* Don't forget me
when I'm gone *

* Don't you forget me
when I'm gone *

* Don't you forget me *

* Don't forget me
when I'm gone *

- Is this dust or dandruff?
- [sneezes]

[coughs, sniffles]

Ghosts can have allergies.
That's good to know.

- Yeah, poor Charley will never
know the glory of a peanut M&M.

Even dead he still swells up.

- Really?
- Yeah.

So are you thinking
dress or suit?

- Dress.
- Well, that's a statement

for a homecoming dance.

Surprised you'd go frilly.

That's really--[squeals]

- I'm surprised you're going
to this thing at all.

It doesn't totally track
with you.

Well, how can one revolt

if they've never assimilated?

Weak reasoning.

But I'll let it slide.

I guess I'm just surprised
you guys

are throwing yourselves
into this.

You know, Wally's acting
like it's the first time

he's ever even heard
of a dance.

Yeah, well, he's been going

to this thing alone
for 37 years.

So brava, I suppose,

for helping him tackle
this unfinished business.

We don't always get
second chances on this side.

I have a question,

but you can't laugh.

- Okay, well, I can't
guarantee anything, but shoot.

Can ghosts have sex?

- I said we can swell,
didn't I?

- Oh.
So you've all--

- La grande mort
is no competition

for la petite mort,
Tootsie Roll.

But yeah, we've been going
through puberty for decades.

We have needs.

We have a past. We all do.

We all do, right?

[playful music]

Maddie Nears,
did you die a virgin?

Uh...hello.

I just wanted to come
and check in

and make sure that, um,
with everything going on,

finding out that you may
have possibly been dragged

through a murder tunnel
and all that,

um, I wanted to see if you were
still up to go to the--

- I mean, are--do you--
- To go to the dance?

- Yeah.
- Okay, you are--

- You're not going
to this one alone, Wally.

- That's--that's awesome.

And I will--I'll--

* *

[sighs]

- No, that was cool.
That was really cool.

Shut up.

[indistinct chatter]

- Hey.
- There's a chick in here!

Hey.

Can we talk?

In here?

You might wanna
check with them.

I mean,
I'm wearing clothes but--

Why the text?

- Uh, wh--what do you mean?

Why now?

[tense music]

- I mean, I--
I wrote it a while ago.

I just--I figured--

I felt bad about the way
I treated you, and it just--

it took me a while
to press send.

I guess I--

I miss you.

Oh, you guess.

I know I miss you.

* *

Pick you up at 7:00 tomorrow.

You don't want me to drive?

- I wanna drive.
- You do?

Why?

- My car has a bigger
back seat than yours.

* *

- You want Simon to copy this
and give it to him?

It's only 16 pages.

Front and back.

I mean, "I've been watching you
for the past 28 years."

Charley, Mr. Figueroa--
or Emilio,

he's gonna think
that you're messing with him.

- Yeah, I didn't--
I didn't think about that.

I mean...

He's in his what now, 40s?

And isn't he married
to some guy?

Okay, wow.

Stab me in the chest,
why don't you?

- Sorry, it's just, what
exactly are you trying to say?

- Well, I just--I said
some awful things back then.

You know? I was so mad.

So now I just--I--

I just wanna apologize.

Yeah, I hear you.

But, you know, I think
this should read like 1994,

when you were alive.

I want him to know me now.

- I know.
But all you can say

is that you didn't mean
those words

and that you forgive him.

Ugh. Okay.

Note taken.

One last thing.

You know once he reads
the letter,

you're gonna have
to forgive yourself, right?

[soft dramatic music]

Start living your life
or whatever,

or living your death.

Live your death.

I love that.

I'm gonna put that
on a T-shirt.

[school bell rings]

[indistinct chatter]

[cell phone buzzes]

- Ope!
- Sorry.

- Jesus.
- Fuck.

- What about checking
the metadata on the phone?

- Are you able to pull that up?
- No, I--I did.

There's nothing--
no date, no place,

nothing about the phone
it was shot on.

- That's weird.
- Yeah.

- Of all the questions--
and there are many--

this one seems like a big one.

Someone took that video,
Nicole.

- It doesn't matter
who took the video, all right?

The point is, Claire thinks
Maddie took the video.

So that's what we should
focus on, okay?

Where's your car?

- Oh, my parents weren't
thrilled I got called in

by the cops for questioning,

so it's cycle city
for the foreseeable future.

- Guess I'm driving
to the dance.

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

Yo, Simon.

Simon.

I think Claire's playing us.

- He's bailing?
- What do you mean?

- It's crazy
that she said yes, right?

Not that crazy.

It was a pretty
convincing text.

Of course it was. I wrote it.

- And she cornered me
in the locker room earlier

like she was cornering prey,
I swear to God.

- Oh, please.
You're hardly prey, Xavier.

Hm. Did you talk?

- She's picking me up
at 7:00 tomorrow.

Good.

And she sent me a photo.

Like, a nude?

- [huffs] Not exactly.
I--

I--I feel like
I'm walking into a trap.

- Funny.
I don't recall you being scared

when you were hooking up
in your back seat.

Yo, are you listening to me?

I don't think this
is a great plan.

- Simon, tell him
he can't back out now.

- You can't
back out now, Xavier.

- He owes me.
- You owe me.

I owe you?

Maddie.

[tense music]

You owe Maddie.

* *

[music playing quietly]

I look stupid.

- Anything Harry Styles
would wear

is the opposite of stupid.

- I--I just don't really
feel like

I can pull off
high-waisted pants.

And do they have to be orange?

It's called fashion, Xavier.

Oh. You know you're not
wearing pants, right?

- Yeah.
If I'm getting killed tonight,

it's not gonna be
in anything orange.

Thank you.

Where's the blue suit?

Uh, it's over here. I got it.

Are you seriously worried
Claire might hurt you?

Xavier?

I don't know.

Maybe.

I thought I knew her.

Maybe I don't.

There's no turning back now.

- What's this?
- When I was cleaning up,

I found this essay Maddie wrote
for her college application.

I hate doing stuff online,

but I don't want her
to miss any deadline.

She already turned it in.

Early decision.

Uh, we both did.

- Well, I thought Nicole said
something about a deadline.

- For her.
Nicole's submitting a portfolio

- for art school in Chicago.
- Oh.

- The idea is we'd all be
together in the same city.

At least that was--
that was the plan.

It still is.

Maddie is coming home.

They found her backpack
at that house

and evidence that someone's
been sleeping there.

I have to believe
that she's coming back.

[soft dramatic music]

- You're right.
I'm, uh--

I'm sorry.

* *

- She hasn't tried
to reach out to you at all?

You would let me know
if she had, wouldn't you?

Of course.

I should go.

I gotta get ready.
Tonight's homecoming.

Going to my first
high school dance.

Oh, that's sweet.

Will you send me some pictures?

You know, I always thought
that it would be nice

if you and Maddie went
to that together.

* *

Oh, you're her best friend,
Simon.

I don't know
what she would do without you.

Thank you.

Could I borrow this?

[upbeat music]

* *

Beep, beep!

Your ride has arrived, m'lady.

You're late.

- How will I ever
make it up to you?

- Promise me that's
not a hot dog.

Well, that can be arranged.

Um...well, you look amazing.

- [chuckles]
Well, you can thank

the theater's
costume department

and Dawn's gift with
the home ec sewing machine,

although it's really unsettling

to watch her laugh
with pins in her mouth.

[chuckles] Uh, yeah.

Well, speaking of gifts,
I, um--

57?

Your football number?

Yeah. Ah, shit.

You hate this, don't you?
I'm sorry.

- No.
- This--I'm embarrassed.

No, this is so stupid.

It's so stupid.
It's just something

we used to do back in the '80s.

- It's a thing, you know?
- Wally--

- As a football player--
- It's sweet.

Yeah. [clears throat]

It was hard to find flowers,
so I had to,

uh, use paper, as you can see.

- [chuckles]
- So, uh,

stay away from an open flame.

Cool? All right, let's go.

* *

[chuckles]

After you.

- Wow.
- I know.

- [laughs]
- It's a pretty sweet ride.

Here we go.

Whoo!

Hm.

That's very generous, Claire.

Oh, it's nothing.

My parents just wanted
to show their support

for your re-election.

- Well, I'll be sure
to give 'em a call.

Let me just see
what's taking Xavier so long.

Oh, no rush.

No, I'm early.

My mom always says,
if you're on time, you're late.

Yeah.
Her meds are helping with that.

I'm just glad the school
didn't cancel homecoming.

Yeah, this year
has been unreal.

First Maddie
and then Mr. Anderson...

- Yeah, it's nothing
you kids need to worry about.

- The police are on it.
- It's hard not

to wonder though
if we'll ever have any answers.

Are there any updates?

- Mm, nothing I can share
quite yet.

- My parents keep asking
why Anderson's not speaking.

Or is he?

Do we think he had
anything to do

with what happened to Maddie?

- It's an ongoing
investigation, Claire.

But, uh, be sure
to tell you folks

we're very thankful
they're cooperating

while we continue to search
the abandoned property.

Will you?

[tense music]

Hey.

I--I couldn't find my belt.

Wow.

- You look--
- Almost respectable.

* *

This is your influence,
I'm guessing.

[chuckles]

Yeah, you look great.

Thanks.

- Make sure he behaves himself,
will you?

And you, you better
look after that suit.

You know, your grandfather had
a suit like that--

had it his whole life.

He was buried in it.

[pop music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

- What? It's called
psychological torture.

- I guess.
- Her penetrating gaze

watches over us,
especially Claire.

- Uh-huh.

- If you really got
something to hide,

her eyes follow you.

Yeah, no, I get it. Stop.

- Hey.
Did you put that up there?

Is that a problem?

- No, no,
it's a really nice gesture.

She should be here,
at least in our thoughts.

Please. No one even knew her.

The last place Maddie
would wanna be is here.

- Yeah, I wanted to tell
her mom that, but I couldn't.

This morning Sandra said
she always thought

Maddie and I would end up
going to homecoming together.

Hm. I can see that.

What? Why?

- Please, you never
thought about it?

Nope.

Maybe once, but I--

I shut it down immediately.

Yeah, yeah.

She's my best friend.

The stakes are way too high.

- When was the last time
you wore a suit?

- The only dance
I've ever been to

was a middle school mixer,

and I was only there
'cause my band was playing.

Cute.

What just happened?

Why are we killing the engine?

Claire?

[ominous music]

I wanna talk.

Isn't that what we're doing?

* *

- The cheerleaders might be
a bit bitchy to you tonight.

That tracks.

Mm.

I wanted to prep for you.

When I mentioned
I was going with you,

they've been very judgey.

Extra spicy, you know.

- Right.
Well, consider me prepped.

Can we get back on the road?
'Cause I think if we're--

- They've noticed
you've been hanging out

with Nicole lately.

Kristin saw you hang out
at the mall together.

What's that about?

She was Maddie's best friend.

We were always
around each other.

* *

Can we go now?

No.

* *

Now we can go.

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

- Oh, look at you,
Dead Astaire.

- Thank you, thank you,
thank you, Mr. Peanut.

[chuckles]

You look, uh, um...

Use your words.

[laughs]

- [laughs]
- [clears throat]

I like your jacket.

So you plan on dancing tonight?

Oh, hell no. No.

Unless they miraculously play,
like, Roicc,

I'll be focused
on Operation Claire.

- Yeah, they here yet?
- Not yet.

But in the meantime,

here's Charley's letter

transcribed
to world-of-the-living paper.

You got any more ghost friends
that need favors?

Can I charge them?

- I think that's already cost
Charley plenty,

but thank you.

And where is this Charley?

Is he standing
right next to you?

Hi.

[chuckles] No.

But he's very grateful, Simon.

That letter's gonna help him
more than you can imagine.

Help him what...

cross over?

Is that gonna happen

when we figure out
what happened to you?

Maybe.

So yeah, just, uh,
tell him that you found it

in between the pages of an old
library book or something.

Um, I gotta go.
I'll just--

I'll come find you
in a sec, okay?

Punch.

- Thank you.
- Course.

[song changes]

So...what do we do now?

- Hey.
- Relax. Just--

- You just gave that to me.
- Come on, let's go.

- Wally.
- Come on.

- Wally, I don't dance.
- We're dancing.

Yes. Yes.

Give me your hands.

Loosen up.

- Let's get wavy.
- [chuckles]

I didn't know
dancing was this easy.

Ooh. Okay, watch.

Boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah.

- Wow.
- I know, I know.

Everything okay?

- Mm-hmm.

Uh, nothing for you
to worry about.

- Are you good?
- Mm-hmm.

- * If you wanna dance then *
[no audible dialogue]

* Dance with me *

* *

* It's pretty fast but *

* This is what you do
at parties, right?

* *

* And I know it's hard *

Was that your idea?

- No, it was--was probably
one of the teachers.

I, um--I heard they found
her backpack--Maddie's.

It was in that empty house
your dad owns.

And?

- Well, it's just weird that
they found it there, right?

Out of all places.

- Are we gonna spend
the night talking

about your old girlfriend?

- * And move your feet
to the beat *

* *

- [on TV]
How fast was I going, officer?

I'd say around 90.

- Suppose you get down
off your motorcycle

and give me a ticket?

- Suppose I let you off
with a warning this time?

Suppose it doesn't take?

- Suppose I have to whack
you over the knuckles?

Suppose I bust out crying

and put my head
on your shoulder?

[ominous music]

* *

[sighs]

- [on TV]
8:30 tomorrow evening?

That's what I suggested.

You'll be here too?

I guess so. I usually am.

- Same chair--

- [loud thud]
- [gasps]

* *

Maddie?

[dogs barking]

[Joe Jackson's
"Steppin' Out" playing]

[indistinct chatter]

- And here's one
for the chaperones.

Oh, shit!

This is my song.

This DJ sucks.

This DJ rules.

- The guy's pretty fly,
I'll give him that.

[chuckles]

- [singing along]
* Now *

* The mist across the window
hides the lines *

- Incredible.
- Whoo!

* But nothing hides the color *

* Of the lights that shine *

- How'd you know
about the backpack?

- One of the many perks
of living with the sheriff.

But you already knew.

- My stepdad told me.
- Oh.

* We *

* So tired of all the darkness
in our lives *

Come on, Principal Hartman,
let's go!

* With no more angry *

- * Words to say
can come alive *

Whoo!

* Get into a car and drive *

- Oh, ouch. Oh.
- * To the other side *

* Me babe, steppin' out *

- Have you, uh--
you been back to that house,

you know, since we...

- Are you asking
if I went back there

to hook up with someone else?

No. No. Definitely not.

I don't go there alone.

[clears throat]

I'm gonna go get us
some drinks.

Dance with him.

- Oh.
- I'll be right back.

Okay.

Punch bowl now.

- * We'll leave the TV
and the radio *

- How's it going?
- I don't know.

She's smooth.
She's a really good liar.

Oh, met your match, huh?

- Maybe we should call it off.
- No.

- Absolutely not.
Dude, he has to push harder.

- Are you even trying?
Ask more questions.

- What do you think
I'm doing, Simon?

- Okay, maybe he's not
asking the right questions.

- [groans]
- Simon?

It's fine.

Did you ask her
about the phone?

No. No. Not yet.

If I ask her about the phone,
she's just gonna bail.

- Just stop being
a fucking coward. Ask her--

- Simon, chill!
- A cow--fuck you, Simon.

You know what?
I'm not your puppet.

I'm gonna figure this out
by myself.

- No, Xavier--
- Just back off.

[cell phone ringing]
Both of you, okay?

- It's Sandra.
[ringing stops]

- Dude.
- I'll call her back tomorrow.

I just can't handle it
right now.

[cell phone buzzing]

She's calling me now.

- [sighs]
She needs more friends her age.

You're being a jerk.

Hey, Sandra.

Could you repeat that?
I couldn't--

Maddie?

Wait, did you call the cops?

Yeah, no,
that's probably smart.

Okay. I'll be right there.

She said she was watching TV

and she heard someone
in the backyard.

She thinks it's Maddie.

She's afraid to call the police
in case they scare Maddie off.

She wants us to come over.

You know what?
I--I'll handle it.

Can you find a ride home?

Mr. Figueroa.

Hey, what's up, Simon?

- Uh, isn't your first name
Emilio?

Yeah.

- I think I found
something that, uh,

belongs to you--maybe.

I was in the library yesterday.

I found this tucked
into an old copy

of "The Things They Carried."

- Look, Maddie,
you know I hate to brag.

And even though I was dead and
I couldn't put on the crown,

I did win Homecoming King
my senior year.

I know, I know.

Was it an honorary thing

because you died
the night before the dance?

No. No. Hell, no.

No, I won fair and square,
okay?

I got all my votes
before I got hit.

Maddie, I don't know
if you know this about me,

but I'm actually
pretty charming.

- I liked kissing you earlier
in the car.

Yeah, I'm a good kisser.

We've established that.

You know my soft spot.

What game are you playing?

You wanna get out of here?

Trust me.

- Hey, Maddie,
I think this was a bad idea.

What was?

- Coming to this dance
together.

What? No.

- I just--I, um--

I don't think you're really
ready to be dead yet.

Is anyone?

I am.

- Okay.
But you're, like, old dead.

I--that came out wrong.

I just mean that I have been
dead for two weeks, Wally.

And--

Wait, where'd they go?

[soft pop music playing]

Where's your date?

What?

6'2", dark hair,

part boy,
part golden retriever.

- I can't really worry
about him right now, Rhonda.

Ouch.

So much for Wally's
special night.

- Have you seen
Xavier and Claire?

I don't know who that is.

[heavy breathing and kissing]

- You know, we could've gone
to the parking lot.

- This is way hotter.
- [laughs]

Not to kink shame, but--

What is that?

Xavier, what are you doing?

[suspenseful music]

* *

[indistinct radio chatter]

Where'd you find it?

- Over here
by these back bushes.

Oh, yeah. What you got?

It was buried.

We figured
if the backpack was here,

there could be something else.

Nice work.

- And you thought
you could bring me down here

to what, Xavier, to what?

To force a confession
out of me?

Did you kill her, Claire?

I know you swapped
Maddie's phone.

Is that why you wanted
to drive tonight,

so when you picked me up
you could get some answers

out of my dad, huh?

You know, maybe--

maybe I should have
shown my dad this.

- [video playing]
- How do you have this?

Xavier, who else has seen this?

- Other people,
so deleting it's not gonna

make a difference.

[breathing heavily]

Jesus.

I figured out
Mr. Anderson was dealing.

Okay, and--
and I saw an opportunity,

and I took it.

Okay, people do this shit
every day.

It was one class.

I just needed an A, Xavier.

I told Mr. Anderson
that if he gave me an A,

I wouldn't say anything
about the money.

What about Maddie's phone?

Why'd you swap it?

What'd you do
with the real one?

- We thought Maddie took
the video.

And I just wanted to delete it.

But I couldn't unlock it,

so I gave it
to Mr. Anderson, okay?

He was the one
that got rid of it.

- You better not
be lying to me.

I told him to pay her off,

to--to give her the money,
whatever she wanted.

But that is all I did.

For me, there is no room
for failure.

Okay, and maybe
that seems dumb to you.

Everyone just thinks
that I have it so easy.

But do you know
how much work it takes

to make everything look easy?

I know we made a mistake,

Anderson and I,

you and I, cheating.

I have been terrified.

Everything just--
it spun out of control so fast.

I didn't hurt Maddie.

I don't know
what happened to her.

But it wasn't me.

What the hell is happening?

Where were they?

- Claire didn't do anything
to Maddie.

I believe her. I do.

Claire was blackmailing
Anderson for grades.

When Claire and Anderson got
that video,

they thought
that Maddie had taken it,

so they paid her off.

When Maddie disappeared,
Claire panicked.

I mean,
if that video got out there,

people would think that--

That's motive.

Yeah.

They couldn't get
into Maddie's locked phone,

so they destroyed it.

We were right,

but Claire wouldn't
hurt Maddie.

She wouldn't.

I believe her.

[tense music]

* *

There was somebody out there.

- I believe you.
[knock on door]

Sandra, you home?

Did you call the police?

No.

[insects chirring, dog barking]

Hi.

I promised I'd, um--

well, I have some news.

You know the empty house where
we found Maddie's backpack?

Yes.

- Well, we found
something else,

a possible murder weapon.

What?

Murder weapon?

- We've traced the object to,
uh, a person of interest.

They're being brought in
for questioning as we speak.

Who?

- Roger South?
- Yeah?

- It's an employee
at the high school.

I can't release a name
just yet.

I'm sorry.

But it's not Anderson.

He has a solid alibi.

As soon as I have
more information I can share,

you'll be the first to know.

- Why--

why would someone do this?

- Anderson has given us
enough information

to believe that, uh,

Maddie had a great deal
of money on her.

And this person wanted it.

[sobbing]

Sandra.

[slow dance music playing]

I was Team Crystal.

Oh, okay, humor did not work.

Uh, let's try truth.

Being a ghost sucks.

Yup.

- I mean,
you're forced to watch

your cheating ex-BF dance
with your cheating ex-BFF,

and they have no idea
you even exist.

- If you're trying
to cheer me up--

- Okay, I--I wasn't done.

Being a ghost sucks
most of the time.

But today I was able
to watch the love of my life

close a very old,
very deep wound...

thanks to you.

How do you feel now?

I'm ready to forgive.

Live my death, remember?

It's good advice, you know.

Maybe it's time you,

you know, take it.

Maybe you should focus on
the person you came here with.

[insects chirring]

* We *

* So tired of all *
[door opens]

* The darkness in our lives *

[door closes]

* With no more
angry words to say *

* Can come alive *

- * Get in-- *
- * Get into a car and drive *

* To the other side *

Uh, that sounded better
in my head.

Wally, I'm sorry.

There was a lot happening,

and I didn't want
to ruin this night for you.

But I should have just
been honest with you

and told you what was going on.

- Maddie, it's--it's fine.

You don't have
to apologize to me.

I--

- That was also better
in my head.

* You make me *

* Feel like I'm living
a teenage dream *

* The way you turn me on,
I can't sleep *

* Let's run away
and don't ever look back *

* Ever look back, oh *

* My heart stops
when you look at me *

* Just one touch,
now baby, I believe *

* This is real,
so take a chance *

* And don't ever look back,
ever look back, oh *

- Now here's a song for the sad
guy popping balloons.

[chuckles]

[singing in Spanish]

Hey.

- Listen.
- I know, this song.

- We were just talking about it--
- Simon, listen.

But what did they find?

A weapon.

A weapon that may have
been used

to murder Maddie Nears.

- And then how do they know
that it's--

- South!
He's the only one

who had access
to that tool cabinet.

- Mr. South?
- Do you have your keys?

- Yeah, I do.
I'll take care of it.

Just--I can't believe it.
